Student responsibilities

If you expect to receive financial aid, check to be sure it has been released to your account by the payment deadline.

If your aid is delayed because your FAFSA was not submitted on time, or other requirements were not completed on time, you are still obligated to meet the payment deadline.

If your aid is late for another reason beyond your control the late charge will be waived if you have paid by the deadline any balance not covered by the financial aid.

Payment for classes enrolled in after the payment deadline is due upon enrollment.

If your bill isn’t paid on time

The Business Office will place a “hold” on your account. This prevents the release of your transcript or diploma and prevents continued or future enrollment.

The “hold” is not removed until your bill has been paid in full.

A late fee may be charged. The amount of that fee is determined by the number of credit hours you are enrolled in. See the table below for details.

Enrollment

Late Fee

Up to 3 credit hours

$25.00

3.5 to 6 credit hours

$50.00

6.5 to 9 credit hours

$75.00

9.5 or more credit hours

$100.00

If you believe you should not be charged a late fee, request a request a Late Fee Waiver To qualify for a late fee waiver, you must demonstrate that the failure to settle the account balance in a timely manner was due to an error on the part of Washburn University. Late fee waiver requests must be submitted in the same term in which the late fee is charged.

Design wasn't Thompson's only consideration. To the stylized Ichabod the artist attributed the qualities of "...courage and enthusiasm, as shown by his brisk walk. He is democratic and courteous, for he tips his hat as he passes. Sincere in his search for truth and knowledge, he studiously carries a book under his arm..."
